great product

August 27, 2010

My first impression of this body was that it is very rigid. Considering the price I was expecting something that was very wobbly and would need considerable bracing before being used. But that is not the case with this. The doors fit very well and the whole body is very straight. Overall I would say that this is a great platform to start building a car.

None of the 26/27 T bodies come with body mounts. There is the option of no floor or floor installed and up to the customer for body mount location, number of mounts, and style of mount. It can sit flat on the frame with body welting or mount strip for insulation or we offer expanding body mounts under part number 715BM401.

This body will channel down over our Speedway frame which is 23.5” wide in the front and 28.5 wide at the rear end housing. The ’32 frame bellies out over 41” ahead of the rear end and about 38” at the cowl. The body would literally fall through the center of the frame. It would require dramatic pinching of the frame and different cross members to allow the body to look cosmetically correct on a ’32 frame.

Is the pro street option still available for this body and chasis?

This is a Speedway manufactured fiberglass body and available in options as listed. The Pro Street version offered by Total performance years ago is no longer available.

Hi, I notice that this body dosen't appear to be steeled out in any way. Althugh I'm guessing there must be some kind of intergral structure that the doors are bolted to. I'm just wondering how much skill and time would be involved in adding the necessary

Our deluxe 26-27 roadster body with the opening doors has additional reinforcing around the door openings and in the door shell itself. There is the option of floor installed where the plywood floor comes fiberglassed to the body shell, and would require no further reinforcement. With the opening doors a channeled floor version is not available. Some details are as follows: Our Deluxe '26-'27 T body includes (2) opening doors that have the latches and hinges installed. Features a molded turtle deck and firewall, inner door panels, and the option of no floor or a flat floor (unchanneled) installed.

I am looking to buy this body with the doors installed. But i would like the body to be channeled over the frame by 3 inches. Is the channeling of the body an option? I have seen other bodies for sale that have the body channeled.

Hi from Speedway, Thanks for asking about our 27 T body with opening doors. I’m Clark Wilcox, one of the techs here at Speedway Motors. If you’d like to channel the body over the frame, you’d be wise to order our body 900 2705 which has opening doors and NO floor. You could channel the body over the chassis the desired amount, then add your own floor.

This lower rear roll pan mounts to the rear bottom side of the turtle deck portion of our 26-27 T body. It rounds out the rough lower rear edge and gives a finished rear look. Easily molded onto the lower rear portion of the body to hide frame and rear suspension. Fits Speedway 1926-1927 fiberglass body only (modification required for other bodies).

19" front-to-back

Adds approx. 2-1/2" depth to the bottom of the body

43 3/8” wide at the front

19” from front to back

Bottom opening is 35 ¼ x 6 ½”

Pan is 3-1/8” deep or tall

Looking for a little more interior room and a lower profile in your T roadster? Then try our Deluxe '27 T! The all-new Deluxe '27 frame features the same triangulated four-bar rear suspension as the Deluxe T, but with a longer wheelbase and extended rear frame section to accommodate Speedway's high-quality fiberglass '27 T roadster body. The body-and-frame combo can be used to build a hot rod with the same open engine bay and fenderless look of a T-bucket, but offers a lower seating position and a lot more legroom. Try it on for size!

Shown with optional rearend and engine mounts installed. This part number does not include a rear axle housing or engine/transmission mounts (as pictured). If you wish to add these items to your chassis, simply purchase these items along with your frame kit.
